Still nursing their wounds over the Brokeback Mountain Best Picture Oscar loss, a group called The Ultimate Brokeback Forum is raising money for support ads for the movie. According to their March 9 press release:

    "Only one major organization did not name Brokeback Mountain as Best Picture," says campaign chair Peter Greyson...In part, this one snub for Best Picture was why those involved with the campaign wanted to send a clear message that Brokeback Mountain was embraced by people around the world as well as highlight their gratitude for the film and remind people of the spirit of the film as expressed by Ang Lee: "[Jack and Ennis] taught all of us who made Brokeback Mountain so much about not just all the gay men and women whose love is denied by society, but just as important, the greatness of love itself."
